Tried to do this today using just 8 adds, didn't get the achievement. Guess you have to use at least one player also for it to work

Kommentar von horz

You have to put all mobs/players in ONE of his storms. Doing for example four and four does not work.If you die you will not get the achievement.

Kommentar von Beltane

He spawns two adds at a time, do not let the first set get caught in his first attack or they will die. Once there are four up (or three, if one of the first pair died), avoid the ability until the last few seconds then have everyone get caught in it. The easiest way to do this is have 4 waves of adds spawn, tank the boss at the top of the stairs and then put the adds on the ramp. When the boss is incoming to the tank, he jumps off and lets all the adds eat the whirlwind. If any have died tanks or plate DPS can subsitute.

Make sure the healer does NOT get caught though, or anyone else caught (and the healer) will die.

This achievement is horrible bugged right now, tried all of the tactics above multiple times since I was "lucky" to get this instances selected a few times on random dungeon.

Tried so many different combination of 4+4, 6+4, 4+5+3. In these combinations there was always at least 1 player.

Kommentar von Alison

Seems like you need to get exactly 8 in bladestorm, we did with 12 and achievement wasnt granted.

Kommentar von Ushikawa

We finally got this after several attempts, and learned the following:

- Only NPCs that are naked seem to count. For some reason, NPCs that did not actually die to Blades of Light did not seem to count.- More than 8 is fine (we did ours with about 14 or so - lost count)- Players do not need to be caught

Kommentar von Maccy

The mobs need to die to Armsmaster Harlan's Blades of Light skill. You dont have to get 8 player/mobs at once you can do 4+4.

Kommentar von Vanarina

No bugs for us, here's what we did.

We tanked him at the first landing (top of stairs). We had a mage freeze the adds before he did the whirlwind, and dropped down leaving the adds to get caught. We DPS'ed them to about 50% so their armor was removed and they were low enough to die. We killed him after the 3rd whirlwind and got the achievement no problems.

Kommentar von haideau

Wording is wrong. Only works right now if his Whirlwind kills 8 of them.

Kommentar von Phurtee

I just tryed it 5 min ago, still not.This thing pissed me off i'm gonna wait till blizzard fix it.edit : even my "RaidAchivement" addon told me it was good and still not.

If another Blades of Light happen and just one player/mob get caught it will fail.

You don't need to kill the adds with Blades of Light, you just need to get 8 players/mobs caught by it, and then kill the boss, as the achievement says.

Kommentar von briandilley

I feel it's important to note that you do not need to have 8 adds\players in the blades at once. In fact, it's impossible, only 6 adds\players can be in at once. So you can do the 2-4 adds before the first blades, and then the players+remaining adds in the final blades. If the players jump in on the return then they take minimal damage as they are only in the ability for a short amount of time.

Kommentar von haideau

Looks like it got hotfixed week of 10/9/12

You no longer need to be alive to receive credit. You should get 8 different targets to be in the whirlwind. The same NPC/player cannot be in the whirlwind twice and the whirlwind can only pick up a max of 6 targets at a time.

Kommentar von Iroared

Kommentar von Volitar

I'm like 90% sure this is bugged after the 'hot fix' I have tried for this achievement four days in a row trying multiple strategies and nothing has worked. He seems to only pick up 6 players or NPCs total. We had 8 NPCs and our whole group waiting for him to pick us up and he only picked up 5 npcs and one player. I will submit a GM ticket and post the response here.

Hope this gets fixed fast

Kommentar von rhinoloupe

You must have 8 players or NPCs caught at the same time. The achievement text will be updated in 5.1 to clarify this.

They do not have to die; getting caught is enough.

Kommentar von Xythros

This achievement is absolutely unnacceptable to Blizzard's standards. I wonder how many people they have managed to piss of because this achievement has failed for them for several days.

The wording is totally wrong, and there are several theories as how to get this achievement. I just want to make sure everybody knows that the top rated comment is wrong.

Kommentar von Swordy

We really need a definitive how-to for this achievement. There are several conflicting comments that are highly rated, and both the tooltip on wowhead and the achievement in-game are different.

Kommentar von Lightbrand

Super easy if Tank knows what he's doing.

Simply tank upstairs where the door is, dps boss normally, pick up all the adds that spawns, keep dpsing normally , aoe or not it's fine. He'll jump down and spin, everyone do their own dodge maneuver, tank jump down right before the guy get up to the door, he'll scoop up all the trainees.

With the current gear he'll most likely do it twice before you can land a kill, if first time he didn't scoop enough, by the time he does it the second round you should have more than enough adds on tank's ass to guarantee this achieve once he's down.

Kommentar von ematanis

I have been using Wowhead for years and everytime I found useful comments on whatever I need.

This achievement however has too many conflicting comments and strategies.

So facts after testing almost every strategy and this what works and what doesn't.

1- Boss can't pick up more than 6 , I know alot of people are saying that this boss will pick up 8 mobs in 1 swoop but that doesn't happen , We stood infront of him in 1 spot, full party(5 players) , when he had 3 adds on him and he passed through us and picked only 3 from the party and 2 were left untouched by his whirlwind.

2- The achievement can be done in more than one whirlwind , doesn't have to be all at once because he can't pick up everything at once.

And this is how we did it:Our combination was 2 hunters , 1 Rogue , Monk tank and Disc priest healer(Me).We tanked the boss where he was standing , we let 2 adds on the tank with the boss and then we placed Traps at the entrance to CC the 2 extra adds up there , when he started his whirlwind , the tank went up to the door and got caught in the Whirlwind along with the 2 adds that were frozen there , so that's 5 in first whirlwind.We also made sure that his Enrage stacks were always dispelled by the Hunter.

Just make sure the tank or whever gets caught uses a Cooldown to help with healing , because even without his enrage or atleast it was low enrage stacks , he still hurts like hell.

After that kill what remains of the adds if anything survives , then we had 2 new adds come down to the boss and we froze the next 2 and did the same again and we let different player get caught just to make sure , we didn't want to risk it , but make sure that the player doesn't die (Rumors say that dead players don't get the achievement , one in our party didn't get his last time his group did it).Btw I had to void shift(Switch health) with the dps that got caught because it was unhealable.

Then kill the boss and that's it.

I hope this helps somebody.

Kommentar von Bingman

Army of the Dead counts as things getting caught in it. That's how my group did it, instant win.

Kommentar von elionor

this achievement is badly worded it makes sound like it has to be 8 players and 8 npcs when what is it really saying 8 players OR npcs

Kommentar von Melandroso

We did this today - or we thought we did. The Raid Achievement addon said we had completed the requirements, but alas we did not get the achievement.

We did NOT have eight picked up at the same time, so the addon is out-of-date on this achievement.

Kommentar von akumaxx

For 2 tries, I used and it worked like a charm.

Kommentar von Pyrokaros

Did this today with my group, after 3 days of trying and as the last achievment for Glory of the Pandaria Hero. The comments above are wery confusing and probably outdated because some of the tactics didn't work. We did this this way:1. Don't dps adds at all.2. Drop boss to 50-30% hp before first blades.3. Dodge first blades.4. Very slowly dps boss, but don't kill him. (if some dps dies in second blades, it will be easier to end it w/o them).5. During second blades all except a healer jump into blades near the flag, along with all adds (you should have 4-6 naked).6. Kill the boss.7. Enjoy your achievment.

Now, some facts:- people who die in blades still get the credit for achievment.- boss CAN take more than 6 adds/players in single blades, we had 10 or so.- disable Raid Achievment- he said that we should get the achievment after gathering 8 adds (no players), and it was not true. Today he announced again, and was right. Turn off to avoid confusion.

Kommentar von Beace

Failed this achievement today despite the addon saying it was done, and us having 9 players/npcs in the whirlwind. Opened a GM ticket to see if they could help me out.

Thank you for your ticket.

In some cases, we can check in the logs if you should have gotten the achievement. Unfortunately, in this case it is not possible to verify if you met the criteria of this achievement .

However the most common reason for this achievement failing is that the achievement will always look at the last Blades of Light done. If you successfully meet the criteria, but the boss does Blades of Light again and not enough NPCs and players are caught in it, it will ignore the successful attempt and only look at the last attempt.

So make sure you either meet the criteria on the LAST blades of light, or just have the boss health low when you do it so you can nuke him down fast after you have met the criteria.

I hope this helps you to get it next time. My apologies for the inconvenience :(

Kindest Regards,

So be sure to kill the boss straight after you've done the whirlwind thing. We hadn't really dps'd the boss, and it's possible he had just started a new whirlwind when we downed him (can't remember for sure).

Kommentar von ElvenSpellmaker

I soloed this earlier as a 544 Prot Pally.

It really wasn't easy because towards the end he starts stacking that Berserker Rage which makes him hit like a truck after 60+ stacks.

Basically what I did was ignore the adds and focus as much damage on the boss, making sure as many adds get caught in his blades as possible. I kept EF up on me using 5 stacks of Bastion of Glory for maximum heal and tick healing.

He started to stack the debuff when he was at about 20-30% health which increased my DPS a load due to Vengeance.

When he was on 12% health he luckily did a blades (I had just Guardian-ed and LoH-ed myself and was taking hits which were nearly my full life pool) which I dodged (he does the blades exceptionally fast when he has the rage stacks!) and then as he came back down dumped myself and the adds into the blades just as he was finishing and luckily it grabbed us all in.

I know the achievement says in one simultaneous blades, but I swear I didn't have eight in there on the last blades, but definitely had eight on another blades at some point.

Here is a positioning screenshot for reference: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28476963/WoWScreenshots/WoWScrnShot_123013_163700.jpgBasically, tank him in the light blue circle, run to the green as he is casting Blades and then fall back into the circle when the boss is near the red circle hopefully causing most of the adds to be sucked into his blades.When he is coming back down hide in one of the dark blue circles to avoid being swept by his blades causing unnecessary life loss.

I wouldn't recommend this as a viable strategy, but two manning this should be so easy if you bring along a DPS who can dodge the Blades effectively.

Kommentar von Neptuno

Near enrage, he hit for 150k melee on brewmaster with around 55-60 stacks

At enrage, his blades of Light activated and he moved very fast. I had him low enough to not experience a melee at this point.

Adds spawn much more often near/during enrage timer enough that I had more than 8 spawn between Blades of Light casts

During this last Blades, he removed the gear of all 9 living adds, but only picked up 8

This appears to me that he caps out at 8 in the whirl, but can still damage others. My first attempt with 8, I ran through him just in case I miscounted and it caused the damage without picking me up (and continued to do so after he was away from me). I wiped it there to switch to better talents for healing.

Kommentar von martanius

Dont panic. This achievement isnt so hard as it looks, best thing to do is just try it and use your own brain instead of reading 15 different tactics and trying one by one. This one worked for us :

At the very start of combat everyone stay at top of the stairs (right there where you are when you enter room where is boss). Tank just taunt boss - he will run up to you - after 15-20 seconds 2 adds will come. Dont kill adds and wait for another 2 so there will be 4 adds.

When boss is about to begin Blades of Light he will jump at the center of room and start spinning and will go all around the room so when boss jump to the center healer just jump down and other players stay at theyr places. Now you just wait for boss to get you all in his Blades of Light - 4 players 4 adds = combination of 8 players and adds. Healer must avoid Blades of Light.

Before you get caugh use some defensive CDs and healer just try to keep you alive. After that just kill the boss and achi is yours. Adds dont need to die when they are in Blades of Light.

Kommentar von hatredrising

solo'd this is a ~450 blood dk- I had tried a couple times and failed, but this last time, he picked up all 8 adds, and I dodged it completely and got credit for it... so you don't need to be in the group that gets pegged.

Kommentar von Fliper333

1. Engage the boss from top of the stairs (right behind the doors)2. Damage the boss to low health (about 30%, so you will be able to kill him quickly later)3. Wait for adds, they will come 2 packs for 2 ads (total 4) before 1st Blades4. When the boss starts spinning, root / stun adds and jump down. Watch out which direction is boss returning so he wont hit you with blades.5. Run back to the top and wait for other 4 adds (total 8). The last 2 will spawn during Blades, wait for them. Then root them at the top, jump down and finish boss.

Kommentar von drewbster

Been getting a weird glitch when I tried this. If he picks me up with Bladestorm, after he stops, I lose control of my character for several moments (haven't timed it, but seemed like maybe 30ish seconds). Can't move the camera, don't get the usual error message about being stunned when trying to use abilities, and twice now the camera has dropped through the floor to the grass below. All I can do is wait for it to end, totally helpless while the adds wail on me. I've reported it as a bug, and wanted to give a heads up to others.

Kommentar von Bilack

Tip for druids: if you dont want to be caught in the whirlwind use Massenumschlingung to root the adds in place and then avoid the whirlwind while the adds get pick up by it.

Kommentar von Mercuryanka

Soloed this in WoD with BM hunter and spirit beast. Put the pet on passive and use Spirit Mend on yourself. Your pet will get healing aggro from boss and adds, mine dodged almost every single boss attack, so I didn't have to heal him up at all. Dodge blades until your pet has 7 adds on him, with you it will be 8 ppl caught up in the Wirlwind. It may take some time because adds sometimes die in the WW.

Kommentar von DoraBre

I just got this achie today. What you need to do (honestly I though that I ruined this tactic and achie, but on the end when i killed the boss, i got it) So, steps are:

1. Start with small dps on the boss, not to much, dots are not recommended2. Wait for adds, 2 of them, and DON T KILL THEM!3. When they come, just heal yourself4. Dps boss a little and wait for the Harlan start to cast Blades of Light.5. With adds (2 of them) run in to the Blades of Light, or little cyclone.6. Heal yourself again, because in the next phase Harlan stuns you.6.Do all of this again with the rest of mobs, you have 2 now, so need 7 more, but i didn t count myself, and get the extra 1 more, just for sure.7. Kill the boss.

I hope this helps someone :)

Kommentar von Keepertje8

Was able to do this solo as a prot Warrior. You don't need to have 8 adds in the same whirlwind. Basically just gather up adds at the top of the room, in front of the door, down the boss to 40%, and lead them in his whirlwind by jumping off the ledge just before he passes you at the top of the spiral staircase. Go back to the door, and rinse and repeat this for 3 times and kill him for the achievement.

Kommentar von Maraol

So far i can say that it is possible to get the Archievement solo. With my 682 Combat Rogue i just stood there and popped Recuperate to keep my health pool up till he uses his Blades of Light. did this two times a 4 adds and killed him afterwards, worked fine so far.

Kommentar von Channelle

No one mentioned the buff that the boss gets when targets get caught by his blade of light.It's a blue icon like the warrior's whirlwind and it's called something like 'caught by the whirlwind'.Just get 8 stacks in total. They expire after every attempt, but this worked for me. You don't need to have 8 defenders in the blade of light at once. I managed to do it in two tries by standing near the door and jumping down when he starts spinning.

Good luck!

1.Engage/agg Harlan2.Run around avoiding damage.Jump down from ramps rather than running down ramps helps.NPCs have to follow ramps,gives ya a few secs advantage.3.Wait for 8 followers to spawn.Clothed,naked doesnt matter.4.Bring your mob back to Harlan when he casts the spell.5.Kill Harlan when you get 8 caught at same time.Doesnt matter if the spell drops off as long as you get 8 caught.Not that hard or complicated.Tank or heal spec helps here.Used blood on my DK to do.Try not to get caught in the tornado,tends to have a tendency to kill you.

Kommentar von Seiorai

Guide for soloing him in 6.2:

1. Tag the boss, bring him to about 60-50% HP.2. Move to the middle of the room and target yourself to make sure you don't accidentally kill him with autoattacks.3. Wait as he spawns several waves of Scarlet Defenders, and also try to kite the defenders away from him when he does Blades of Light (blades can and will kill adds).4. Run the following macro to check how many Defenders you have:

/run local t,c,p="Scarlet Defender",0 for i=1,10000 do p=_G if p and p:IsVisible() then c=c+(select(2,p:GetChildren()):GetRegions():GetText()==t and 1 or 0) end end print(t,":",c)

5.1 The macro will show all Defenders that are next to you. Therefore if you are in the middle and the Defenders are at the top of the stairs it won't count those at the top of the stairs, but if they are all with you in the Blades then the macro will count them. Remember you need a max of 7 Defenders if you get caught in the whirlwind, and 8 if you aren't caught in it.

5.2 In case you have plenty of adds but you don't get caught the whirlwind, simply walking into the boss as he does his ability will let you pop the macro and check how many adds have been caught in it.

6. When the ability finishes and you know you have 7-8+ adds caught in it, you can safely kill the adds and the boss.

7. Enjoy your new nerd points and mount! ;)

P.S: as another comment mentions, this achievement counts only the last Blades of Light made.

Kommentar von drndara

Did this solo with (683ilvl) 100 prot pala. 1. Picked 3 packs before boss, two packs from rooms with cannons and third pack in room right before the boss. 2.Attacked boss, damaged him to like 30%, then turned my back so I don't reflect damage back. He called 2 extra adds. 3. He started bladestorm, picked us up, did his thing, few seconds I cou'dnt attack him. Spammed flash light to see when this is over. When I was able to hit him, finished him off and got the achivement.

Kommentar von Cjd94

I can't seem to do this. He just keeps killing the ads. They just keep dying. I get like 6 then he kills like 5 of them.

Kommentar von MenphysAkbar

Ok guys this achievement is easy at lvl 110. Just go to the boss with all adds possible, start the fight and stay on the top/entrance. Boss will call for extra adds and when he casts Klingen des Lichts just wait him on the top with adds. Use addon RaidAchievement and you will know when the requirements are completed then kill boss.
